1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In this study we analyzed the independent effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor use on bone loss in elderly Chinese. The subjects were from two cohort studies which investigated the risk factors of osteoporotic fractures in Hong Kong-dwelling elderly Chinese. A total of 2161 subjects (1280 male, 881 female) were selected for this analysis. The results showed that unadjusted annualized percentage bone loss of male ACE inhibitor users was not different from non-users; however, female ACE inhibitor users had significantly greater bone loss both in total hip and femoral neck than non-users. After adjusting for significant confounders, female continuous ACE inhibitor users had significantly greater bone loss at total hip and femoral neck. In conclusion, continuous use of ACE inhibitors over 4 years was associated with increased bone loss in total hip and femoral neck in older Chinese women.
